Good news! Fingers crossed for a speedy and full recovery.
Lol...from the discussion on the pet show thread, the only two dogs that have ever terrified me were a corgi/cocker cross and a bassett.

Lol summerdream...a sense of humour is a good sign. Nope, we don't know each other. Superwoman is safe!
I'm so pleased you heard back from Al Ameen. Fingers crossed the child is soon safe, 24 hours a day.

How can the government enforce that when it was not written anywhere publically and what was written publically (on the government's website) was the deadline of "1 June for Dubai Residents" ?
In our case only DH got the fine, i didn`t.

The fare is the same whether Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Most people OS don't know Abu Dhabi so they book to Dubai not knowing its a simple bus ride after landing. Anyway as long as you book in before flight leaves your on! In answer to Rosierat it's a different airline from Chicago to Houston and your bags would of been in different bins in cargo, or Etihad had to pay the other airline for your trip even if you didn't fly that sector?

Thanks Green-ish...I hope I don't know you ... try not to let people around me know of my situation ... keep the superwoman image up 
Update: Just got a call from Al Ameen. They asked how I can be so sure the child is alone. I assured them of what I know. They asked if the parents hit the child or had fights with each other. I told them I didn't think so. They have taken details from me and said they would rather transfer this to social services department and someone from there will call me.

After the incident, they were insisting that all the dogs in the dog park were on leads. I let my scamp off and he found a couple of similar doggies to have a play with, but we all kept a close eye on them. There was one giant husky who kept coming over and trying to mount one poor other dog - also a male - the husky was getting a bit much and the owner didn't do much about it.
The fact of the matter is, the organisers should not have allowed any dog on the banned list in without a muzzle! I'd like to hear from the organisers why this wasn't being enforced.
I thought it was going to all be a bit much for my wee one, but he got loads of attention and didn't bother about the children hanging off his tail half the time. Now had it been my old dog, I wouldn't even have considered taking her as she hated children and would have had a go.

"They have a small yourki living with them too, something went wrong that minute, the poodle came by surprise, sadly there was no muzzle, and everything happened to quick". Yikes...I hope she was not justifying the owner's decisions to have it off leash and to leave without attempting to make amends?? I also hope the owners are now aware their dog can probably never again be trusted off leash or around small dogs.
No, not at all, she just realised she knew the owner (a friend of a friend or something like that, dont know the woman myself, just quoting what I red on facebook) and wanted to have his side of the story. She also posted a picture of the dog with his other dog friend and yorkie friend together in the family garden. It seems the owner is also devastated of what happened and very scared of the consequences for his own dog...

If you select that you will be travelling from Dubai Marina Mall it should be okay.
the reason for this is if you select Chelsea Towers, you need to check in there ( they have a counter ) Dubai Marina Mall is literally a bus stop and you just hop in the coach and you check in in Abu Dhabi Airport. so you can do it that way !
On your way back, when you pass through immigration, just go to arrivals and dont bother with the coach.

aha. well done.
I was very puzzled as it is now near the other end as well.
Falafel shop opening looks imminent. Though the municipality-required health & safety stuff is still stuck to the door. Can't be long now. Same with Lebanese though that looks a little further behind.
A few weeks and we should have another few menus under our door

Hmm that makes it even sadder Titotu, though i find it odd that the dog would snap so quickly and so vicously. if it did get annoyed, then a bite or growl first but straight out attack the dog. Bit odd imho.
